How can you say prices are irrelevant? Cost engineering is a vital part of any engineering profession. Yes I do baulk at the idea of a professional thinking and indeed advising lay men to shop mostly at dIy shops, which is what the original post implied. Again I remind readers I did not say...

OI r896neo ! I don't understand what "wind your neck in means" but you need to read things more thoroughly and learn what succinctly means, especially when you going to try and sound assertive. Just looked at engineering brick prices at B&Q online £0.94 wow that's a bargain must be huge...
